Mount Usher Gardens

We visited in the autumn and the colours are stunning. It's a beautiful garden/arboretum crafted around a clear flowing stream, the River Vartry flowing down from the Wicklow Mountains.

We visited 8 gardens in Ireland the last 2 weeks and this one is at the top! Beautiful flowerbeds, impressive collection of trees and all very well kept. Very friendly vibe.

Fantastic garden, visited in July 2025, also nice shops and for relaxing with coffee &bakery or outside studying and working, The change of trees with colorfull flowerbeds is beautifull, pitty that the storm hit some very old trees, but thats life. But still 88 different trees to see. River was driving a tuck mill and later a corn mill. Parking lane to small? Park next to the road, no problem.

What an absolute gem. We had a fabulous time walking around this magical place. I would definitely recommend it for a chilled out experience.

Super beautiful and only €10! Very peaceful, Highly recommend! They even let us store our luggage in the office while we walked the gardens!

Beautiful gardens with a wide range of trees and a river running through it. Great for a stroll or for gardening enthusiasts. In February the snowdrops and crocuses were out but I'm sure it would look spectacular later in spring and summer

Hidden Jen lovely walk around the river lovely view of the heron very unusual trees well signposted

Amazing garden, well maintained and with nice posh shops outside
